We Believe that good food can change the world

ABOUT US

We are a dynamic non-profit in Burlington, VT that implements innovative, replicable and place-based solutions to address some of global agriculture’s most pressing problems. We are transforming the food system from one that is degrading, anonymous and industrial, to one that is restorative, familiar and human-scale. We are working to foster a local food economy that is good for people and the planet.

Farms

We are increasing the viability of farming in Vermont by growing new farmers, helping existing farms grow their businesses, and by developing markets for producers. We provide business planning and technical assistance to over 60 Vermont farms every year.Read more >>

Land

We are promoting the sustainable use of agricultural lands by taking care of the one-of-a-kind Intervale, and by growing and planting over 20,000 native trees each year along Vermont’s rivers and streams to protect water quality.Read more >>

people

We are engaging our community in the food system by getting more good food to more people, from low-income individuals to busy working families. We celebrate good food through events that nurture a community food culture that values taste, tradition, health, conviviality and responsibility. Read more >>
